Discussion
State whether the following is true or false.
A photograph taken under tungsten light looks more yellow than the scene appeared at the time.
Answer: C
Correct answer: True
The camera records the physical stimulus, which under tungsten light really is yellow-biased; the eye had adapted and did not see it that way. This is the everyday demonstration that chromatic adaptation is a property of the observer and not of the scene, and it is why cameras provide a white balance control to imitate what the visual system does automatically.
